The Wumiao Temple we are talking about now evolved from the Wucheng Wang Temple, and the Wucheng Wang Temple evolved from the Taigong Temple, so what is the Taigong Temple for?
Taigong Temple is a temple dedicated to Jiang Shangjiang, the king of Qi, so it is called Taigong Temple. Originally only popular in qidi local temples, gradually popular to the taigong temple related to the legend of king Taigong Yuwen built around the taigong sacred relic. The Taigong Temple built during this period is mainly a reflection of the worship of ancestors and sages, and has not yet been associated with martial arts.
The association between the Taigong Temple and martial affairs was not until the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, when "the flow of the aether gong soldiers began to establish a temple in The Lingxi River." At this time, the association of the Taigong Temple with the martial arts opened the stage of the transformation of the Taigong Temple to the Wucheng Wang Temple. In addition, the Lingxi here is generally considered to be the Jixian County, which is the hometown of Jiang Taigong, and the current Weihui City, which also preserves many historical sites related to Jiang Taigong.
In the second year of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang (706), the Taigong Temple Office was set up in the two capitals, which was later abolished. In April of the nineteenth year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's reign (731), he set up Taigong Temples in the two capitals and the states of Tianxia, and shared them with Zhang Liang. The Taigong Temple was gradually built throughout the country, and at this time, Zhang Liang was entitled to the Taigong Temple, and the Taigong Temple was gradually improved and its influence gradually expanded.
In the first year of Emperor Suzong of Tang (759), Taichang Shaoqing played on Hu Lie, and the song said that Zhang Liang's age and Jiang Taigong's age could not be connected, the difference was too big, and the person who deserved to enjoy the Taigong Temple should be a subject who assisted the Taigong at that time, so Zhang Liang should not be worthy of the Taigong Temple, and requested that Zhang Liang be assigned to the Hanzu Temple. Taichang Shaoqing Yu Xiulie's recital was approved by the emperor, and Zhang Liang was removed from the Taigong Temple and deserved to be enjoyed in the Hanzu Temple.
In the leap april of the first year of the first year of emperor Suzong of Tang (760), taigongwang was posthumously named king of Wucheng, and since then the temple has been renamed wucheng wang temple, which is the source of the later wu temple. At the same time, the relevant departments requested that Yasheng and Shizhe be set up in accordance with the regulations of the Wenxuanwang Temple (now the Temple of Literature). Yasheng was given the title of Prince of Han, Zhang Liang, and was also the son of Yasheng, and was also the grand sima tian of Qi, the general Sun Wu of Wu, the taishou of Wei Hexi, The Junle Yi of Yanchangguo, the baiqi of Qin Wu'an, the marquis of Hanhuaiyin, the marquis of Shu, Zhuge Liang, the right servant of Shangshu, and Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and Li Xun of Sikong
On May 15, the third year of Jianzhong (782), Emperor Dezong of Tang summoned Shiguan to discuss the wucheng king temple with the enjoyment of people, etc., and the history museum replied that the han prince Fu ZhangLiang was worthy of the enjoyment, as Yasheng, and qi grand Sima Tian Tho, Wu general Sun Wu, Wei Hexi Taishou Wu Qi, Yanchang Guojun Leyi, Qin Wu'an Jun Baiqi, Han Xin the Marquis of Hanhuai, Shu Cheng Xiang Zhuge Liang, Shangshu Right Servant Wei Guo Li Jing, Sikong British Duke Li Ji as ten zhe, and Qi general Sun Zhen, Yue Xiangguo Fan Li, Zhao general Xin Ping Junlian Po, Qi general Guan Zhong, Qi general An Ping Juntian Dan, Zhao General Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, Grand General Wu Anjun Li Mu, Qin General Wang Qi, Han Xiang Pingyang Marquis Cao Shan, Liang Wang Pengyue, Zuo Cheng Xiang Marquis Zhou Bo, Tai Wei Tiao Hou Zhou Yafu, Grand Sima Champion Hou Huo Fu, Grand General Changping Marquis Weiqing, Later General Zhao Chongguo, Former General Li Guang, Later Han Taifu Gaomi Marquis Deng Yu, Grand Sima Guangping Marquis Wu Han, Zhengxi General Xiayang Marquis Feng Yi, Jianwei General Hao Qihou Geng Yi, Zhi Jin Wu Kou, Zuo General Jiaodong Hou Jia Fu, Fu Bo General Xinshi Hou Ma Yuan, Tai Wei Marquis Duan Xi, Wei Tai Wei Deng Ai, The Generals of Zhendong, Marquis Zhang Liao of Jinyang, Marquis Fusong of Huaili, Marquis Guan Yunchang of Former Shu Dynasty, Marquis Zhang Fei of Xixiang, Marquis Zhou Yu of Wunan Commandery, Marquis Lü Meng of Southern County, Marquis Lü Meng of Southern County, Marquis Lu Xun of Southern Yan, Marquis LuXun of Jin Zhengnan, Marquis Yanghu of Nancheng, Marquis Du Yuankai of Zhennan, Marquis Of Xiangyang Marquis of Fujun, Marquis Gongkan of Changsha, Marquis Xie Yuan of Kangle, Former Qin Xiangxiang Wang Meng, Murong Ke of Former Yan, Marquis Tan Daoji of Song Sikong Wuling, Marquis Zhen evil of Zhenyu, Marquis Changsun of Later Wei, Murong Shaozong of Northern Qi, Duke of Xianyang, Duke of Xianyang, Duke HuLuguang of Right Qi, Wang Shengxun of Liang Taiwei, Yuwen Xian of Zhou Dazuka, Gong Yu of Taifu, Duke Yu of Taifu, Duke Xiaokuan of Zhengguo, Wu Mingche of Chen Sikong, Duke of Nanping, Duke of Sui Shangshu, Yang Su of Zhao Guo, Duke he Ruobi of Song Guo, Duke of Song Guo, Duke Of Shangzhu Guo, Han Huhu, Duke of Taiping of Shangzhu State, Wang Xiaogong of Shangzhu State, Chi Jingde, General of The Duke of Eguo, Grand General of Right Wu Wei, Su Dingfang, Duke of Xingguo, Duke Pei Xingjian of Libu Shangshu Wenxi County, and Wang Xiaojie of Xiaguan Shangshu, The general Zhang Renqi of Korea, the Duke of Zhongshan Commandery of Bingbu Shangshu, Guo Yuanzhen, the Duke of Shangshu of Bingbu, Li Guangbi the Prince of Linhuai, and Guo Ziyi the Prince of Fenyang were the generals.
In the second year of Zhenyuan (786), when shangshu of the punishment department was then known to have deleted the guan bo shang, the song said that "Taigong was called Daxian in ancient times, and now he is called Yasheng, and Yu Yi is uneasy." And Confucius And the Ten Philosophers, all of whom were disciples at that time, are now chosen famous generals, with different ages, and they are both obedient in righteousness and lost in deeds. Please delete the names of the famous generals and the ten philosophers. The song was adopted, and from then on, only King Wucheng and Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, were sacrificed, and the sacrifices were never returned.
August 13, 788, the fourth year of zhenyuan. The soldier attendant Li Shu set up the temple to be enjoyed by Zhang Liang.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Tang, the temple of King Wucheng should be changed to King Wuming. Later Liang abolished the sacrifice of the Cong, and in the Later Tang Dynasty, the sacrifice of the Congqi was restored.
In the fourth year of Jianlong (963), Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin disqualified Bai Qi from worship because he "killed a person who had already surrendered without martial arts", and Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin believed that Bai Qi slaughtered those who had surrendered and had no martial spirit. Soon after, Taizu of Song summoned Zhang Zhao, Dou Yi, and Gao Xi to agree that the temple of King Wucheng would be worthy of people. Finally, the three of them said that "the Wucheng WangMiao has newly promoted twenty-three meritorious heroes of all dynasties, Han Guanbao, Hou Han Gengchun, Wang Ba, Ji Zun, Ban Chao, Wang Hun of the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhou Visit of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Song Shenqingzhi, Later Wei Li Chong, Fu Yong, Northern Qi Duan Shao, Li Bi, Tang Qin Shubao, Zhang Gongjin, Tang Xiujing, Hun Yao, Li Guangbao, Pei Du, Li Yu, Zheng Bi, Liang Ge Congzhou, Later Tang Zhou Dewei, Fu Cunzhen; his old matching of meritorious servants retired twenty-two, Wei Wuqi, Qi Sun Zhen, Zhao Lianpo, Han Hanxin, Peng Yue, Zhou Yafu, Later Han Duan, Wei Deng Ai, Jin Tao, Shu Guanyu, Zhang Fei, Jin Du Yuankai, Northern Qi Murong Shaozong, Liang WangShengjian, Chen WuMingche, Sui Yangsu, He Ruobi, Shi Wanzai, Tang Li Guangbi, Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Qiqiu, Guo Yuanzhen". The list given by these three people has changed greatly, and many of them are familiar to us, such as lei guan'er's name being withdrawn from the wucheng wang temple from the list of worship, such as Han Xin, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc. However, after Song Taizu's ruling, the list was not adopted. It was only that Guan Zhong was promoted to the Rank of Ten Zhe, and Wu Qi withdrew from the Ten Zhe, and was included in the list of subordinate generals.
In the first year of the reign of Emperor Dazhongxiang (1008), Emperor Zhenzong of Song made Emperor Wucheng the Prince of Zhaolie.
In the fifth year (1123) of Emperor Xuanhe of Song Huizong, the Ministry of Rites asked King Jiawucheng to be knighted from the Qi people, fengqi xiangguan Zhongzhuoshui Marquis, Grand Sima Tian Yong Tho Hengshan Marquis, Wu general Sun WuHu Du Marquis, Yue Xiang Fan Li Sui Wu Marquis, Yan general Le Yi Ping Yu Marquis, Shu Xiang Zhuge Liang Shun Xing Marquis, Wei Xi He Shou Wu Qi Feng Guang Zong Bo, Qi general Sun Zhi Wu Qing Bo, Tian Dan Chang Ping Bo, Zhao General Lian Po Lincheng Bo, Qin general Wang Qi Zhen Shan Bo, former Han general Li Guanghuai Rou Bo, Wu general Zhou Yu Ping Yu Bo.
In the period between Emperor Xuanzong of Huizong and Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang may have been disqualified from the title of Yasheng at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but only included in the Ten Zhe, and at this time it was included in the Entitlement and obtained the title of Yasheng. Emperor Huizong of Song was headed by Guan Zhong, Sun Wu, Le Yi, Zhuge Liang, Li Ji, Hoang Tho, Fan Li, Han Xin, Li Jing, and Guo Ziyi, while Bai Qi and Wu Qi were headed by seventy-two. After the southern crossing, Guan Zhong and Guo Ziyi were promoted to the temple, and Cao Bin was added. Here you can see that Bai Qi was also included in the Wucheng King Temple from the ancestral famous generals.
The Jin Dynasty also set up the Wucheng Wang Temple, and between 1178 and 1206 there was a discussion of the Wucheng Wang Temple, according to the edict, Pu Cha Sizhong and Hanlin Attendant Zhang Xingjian discussed the Wucheng Wang Temple with the same list, Si Zhong said: "Fushimi Wucheng Wang Temple deserves to enjoy the generals, not generations first. Later, according to the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing and Li Ji lived in Wu Qi and Le Yi. The Holy Dynasty Taizu with two thousand people, the master of the million, Taizong Kesong, into this imperial industry, The King of Qin Zonghan, the King of Song Zongwang, Lou Room, Ceres and the previous generation of generals, each with merit between the list of Keye. "Si Zhong's theory is more manneristic, not exhaustive, and it is quite reasonable to record it." This "History of Jin" shows that during the Jin Dynasty, the consecration personnel of the Wucheng Wang Temple were also discussed, and some changes were made, "The Holy Dynasty Taizu with two thousand people, the master who broke the million, the Taizong Ke song, became this emperor, the Qin King Zonghan, the Song King Zongwang, the Lou Room, the Ceres and the previous generation of generals" Some of the sentences should be included in the Jin Dynasty Wucheng Wang Temple from the worship personnel, the specific list of personnel is unknown.
Jin Zhangzong Taihe seven years (1207), the completion of Yan Kuang and other words: "I am a hero of the founding of the dynasty, and the ceremony should be matched." Therefore, Zong Han, the King of Qin, was paired with Wu Chengwang with his son, and He was demoted to Guan Zhong. And the Chu kings Zongxiong, Zong Wang, Zong Bi and other servants sat down, and Han Xin fell and stood at Yu. He also deposed Wang Meng and Murong Ke and more than twenty other people, while Zengjin Chen, Liao Wang Xie, was also deposed. At this time, the personnel of the Wucheng King Temple were changed.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the Temple of King Wucheng was worshipped with Ten people, including Sun Wuzi Zhang Liang, and only ten people were retained.
During the reign of Ming Taizu Hongwu, the Wucheng Temple was abolished, and the Ether Gong was enshrined in the Imperial Temple. After that, it was not until April of the fifteenth year of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1536) that the Temple of King Wucheng was re-established in imitation of the system of the Tang Dynasty, and its consignees were added Wei Jizi, Huang Shigong, Li Guang, Zhao Chongguo, Song Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Ming Xuda, Chang Yuchun, Zhang Yu, and Tang He.
In the Qing Dynasty, although the Wucheng Wang Temple was still established, it no longer had a major status, and was gradually replaced by the belief of the Wusheng Guandi Emperor and became the Wu Temple we see now.
From the above description, it can be seen that the heyday of Wucheng Wang Temple was mainly the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and the Ming Dynasty was mainly after the Jiajing Emperor. The Temple of King Wucheng of the Jin Dynasty is also relatively prosperous.
